Gone, gone, and gone for the first three. This team is going to be nearly unrecognizable for the second year in a row. If Devries fails to build a strong roster for the second year in a row, he’s likely not even seeing three years.
Huge issue, and I do not think Devries is unaware based off his comments in the offseason. That said, if he is unable to bring in the players, no level of self-awareness will fix it. So he may be a good coach, but is he good at selling Indiana? We’ll see.
He is not a creator, and the best creator on the team likes to play hero-ball and speed up things unnecessarily. Then, things get sloppy and IU finds itself in a hole. This may be just who they are in the B1G. Not gonna be for the faint of heart…and it’s very disappointing.
IU should still win this game. If they do not, we have absolutely no shot of being a serious tournament team. It will be bubble talk the rest of the way.
Seriously, Reed will be eaten alive in B1G play. He’s not a C nor a PF. The flaws are clear as day for this team. Can they shoot and defend their way to victory consistently?
If Wilkerson comes on board, I definitely like how the team is coming together. Hopefully a big center name enters the portal since I like Bailey at the 4.
